Ornstein has said to NBC:
“The confidence inside Chelsea is high that they will remain compliant with FFP.”
What fucking calculator are they using?!

It's a shame that one of the biggest consequences of FFP and amortisation rules is that selling off your homegrown academy players is better for business than keeping them even if they're good enough to be regulars for you.
But Chelsea will have a big problem if other clubs simply choose to not buy these players. Their rivals will be looking at this and (hopefully) thinking they won't bail them out like they did last summer. There's nothing to gain from playing nice here.

Yes there is of course that incentive to have some club trained players over 21 so you can register a full squad. But UEFA rules are stricter than PL rules there and they have enough English trained players that they probably won't fall foul of PL rules. They might well not have a full 25 man squad in UEFA competitions should they reach one of them though, but then we've also not had that for at least one of our European seasons.
what if none of them want to go
funny as Connor still has not been offered a contract seems like his being forced out

I suspect that this is a Chelsea briefing designed to avoid the scenario people have outline before where clubs decline to buy their unwanted players as they don’t wish to ‘save’ Chelsea. They may be ok but only if they make considerable sales of HG or fully amortised players, and for that to happen at or above market value they need buying parties to think Chelsea have some leverage in the deal.Ornstein has said to NBC:

They tried to sell them in January. Don't see how it will be any different in the first couple of weeks of the Summer window unless the price tags drop significantly, and not just because they'll have less time on their contracts. It'll need to be a fire sale imo.

Lukaku is on around £325k a week with 2 years left on his contract this summer. I can't see them getting a much better deal than finding a club to take him on a free.

They paid 97m for Lukaku. They'll be lucky to get 25m for him. That doesn't help FFP one bit.

Whilst that is true, it is also true that having academy players make the grade is still the cheapest way to build a squad. The Chelsea situation isn't entirely unique... I think it's just extreme and is throwing more light on the rules than should be normal.
Selling your best academy players is a way to solve a short term problem, but creates longer term problems. Once teams find their groove within the financial rules, there won't be as many short term problems that need solving by an academy sale. Theoretically anyway.
That is predicated on the rules being applied equally and fairly. If the rules get bent because Chelsea have dug such a large financial hole for themselves then it could end up being a bit more "wild west" in terms of flogging academy talents to patch the holes left by £100m players being amortised.

Lukaku will be off to Saudi I reckon. He’s already making positive noises about it.

But it's Chelsea, so there's every chance Liverpool and City morph into 2007 Derby County for a day.
